If Candy Crush made 56% more than Nintendo's 77 billion yen revenue, then that means Candy Crush in one quarter made 1.2 billion USD in revenue. That's a lot!

That's just sickening....

Stupid people are stupid.

Laugh at Nintendo, sure, but lament the inevitable death (or at least major decline) of what most of us would consider "proper gaming".

Wii U may be the biggest piece of crap this side of Virtual Boy for you, but surely most of us would take a console and 1 game like Donkey Kong Country : Tropical Freeze per quarter than only playing Candy CrushVille on your iPad or phone.

Candy Crush is a game. Nintendo makes games. I see nothing wrong with the comparison.
Yes, it is not a straight apples to apples comparison but out of the three console makers it is the best you can get.

If Candy Crush made TVs and wrote Operating Systems then I would say it is fair to bring MS and Sony into the equation. No one outside of MS knows what Xbox makes or loses so you can't have a comparison there.

This just put more emphasis on much money can be made on casual mobile gaming on the android and iOS platforms.

I am sure many devs and maybe even Nintendo themselves are paying close attention to this report. It's all about the money.
Personally I am disappointed as I hate these kind of "games". Not saying if I dreamt up the game I would be dissappointed though.

Just shows what handhelds are up against these days. Before the iPhone and iPad Nintendo pretty much had all that market to themselves.

They made money with candy crush, but everybody will have forgotten that game in a year or two...

These phone games are short lived. Profit might surge for a year or 2 but when people lose interest in your game you're pretty much done.

Not true. Those 2 don't make enough good family friendly games to consider that.
